The SST is a 4km resolution product available from NOAA, covering late 1981 to 2020. The Chla is a 4km product available from the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group covering 2003 to 2020.
Note that these plots are current to 2020-12-31.
The time series are coloured by season: winter (January, February, March), spring (April, May, June), summer (July, August, September), and autumn (October, November, December).

Oceanographic Regions (orange boundary):
Selected standard oceanographic stations used for further calculations are shown as yellow points (stations GI02, Mason53, P4). The statistics used are from a 5x5 pixel box centered at the station coordinates.
The grey shaded area on the SST plots correspond to the Chla time series.
This is just a placeholder at the moment. Thinking similar to the buoy plots on the marine heatwave page.
This is also a placeholder, with some of the plots I updated in 2020.
